I started shooting when I was about 14. After obtaining my Masters in Art Ed in Georgia, I had a 7 year fling as a mountain guide and ultimately settled on the Pacific Northwest after becoming a father. I started shooting a lot more again when my beautiful son was lighting up my life. People said I had a knack for capturing genuine happines in a person's portrait.
I crave taking cool photos. I want to shoot all day when I have the chance, so I became a wedding photographer. I love to be in the middle of a tear jerking moment, and ultimately, I feel honored and blessed to be able to tell someone's story.
Living on a boat in the San Juan Islands put me right in the middle of the action for destination weddings. But, I REALLY like those calls for ceremonies in far off exotic places.
My style is extremely laid back, and all I ask of my clients is for them to be themselves. I prefer to work alone and with natural light. It lends itself to a fly-on-the-wall unobtrusive style that is never distracting or intimidating for clients.
Some large events might require a second shooter and my wife, Laura, would be my first choice. We make an awesome team. It's a crazy beautiful love story of how we ended up together, which you read about over at Our Life At Sea in the menu up top.
We are currently back on Lopez Island from sailing Mexico and are ready to travel anywhere in the islands or beyond for your special day. :)
